On the other hand, I'm not one of those that expect my scale machine to be able to do things no 1:1 machine are able to. Like belting up a 45 degree slope when the ground are soft :rolleyes |
Ok, make sure to tape that test with the belts!
Im sure it will be night and day difference between belt and chain drive.
I had weak track drives on my 470, i hated not to be able to go where i wanted to, it ruined the whole excavator, then i upgraded it and now i enjoy every cm i go with the tracks!
